There is no camera that serves all needs, there are always some downside. The Canon C-300 Mark II shines in image quality with endless combination image style settings. The C-300 Mark II has important industry standards like BT.2020, BT.709, different Wide-Gamut setups and Canon Log 2 gamma can be used for HDR video without a doubt.
Convienience, usability and handling is really great with the Mark II and it is joy to work with the camera, a very similar experience like with the C300 predecessor, with just minor quirks, like the disabled focus magnification while recording.
The weak aspect of this camera is the high speed performance, there are surely better ones, but a maximum of 120fps at 2K with 2:1 cropping is not so shabby at all, however 2K 60p is way sharper, with nearly perfect image quality but with great features like the Focus Guide or the the Boosted Manual Focus which helps shooters alot.
